Friday 1/27/17--Aquarius new moon

Midwinter new moon, alignment in awareness amidst the pattern of life's interrelationship (Sun and Moon meet in Aquarius 4:07pm PT). It can be isolating, but completes a process of leaving behind what no longer serves us and getting right with things, ready to move on into fruitful new development.

With the transformative power of physical nature historically reinforced (Pluto in Capricorn) and healing deep feeling in tender sensitivity (Neptune and Chiron in Pisces), seed essence is activated, releasing its potential, leading toward a new spring of revolutionary passion and emerging wisdom (Mars joins Uranus in Aries 9:39pm PT).

This year, expansive, creative, 12-year cycle Jupiter is in Libra, big energy for love and harmony. The Chinese, who begin their new year here, call it the Year of the Rooster.
